The following versions of HP OpenView Network Node Manager (NNM) have been tested with ViewRunner for HP OpenView:

The HP OpenView NNM version 4.11 requires patch PSOV_02123, and version 5.01 requires patch PSOV_02091. Currently, the latest Cumulative Consolidated Patch PSOV_02243 for version 5.01 will cause problems in HP OpenView when creating a new map. This problem does not occur with patch PSOV_02091.
Cisco and HP are working on solving this problem. In the meantime, Cisco distributes patch PSOV_02091 on the ViewRunner for HP OpenView CD since it is no longer available from the HP support Web site.

/usr/ccs/bin/what <OV install directory>/bin/ovw | grep <patch number>
That is, if HP OpenView is installed in the /opt directory, use the following command to verify the version:
/usr/ccs/bin/what /opt/OV/bin/ovw | grep PSOV_01925
If HP OpenView NNM is already installed use following command to verify the version:
<OV install directory>/bin/ovversion
